Sand in the backyard?

[strangetomato]

Does anyone else get this sandy effect off in the distance from the lot view at the Summerdream house? I've seen it on other lots too, like in Bluewater Village, and I was wondering what causes it. Is it the same in other people's games? It's a pretty minor thing, but it kind of bothers me.

I've had that as a glitch a few times, I really have no idea what it's due to, but it seems to appear most often when I put lots from the bin into a neighbourhood that is not necessarily the one it was built for. When I was building a custom Uni, I used the Desiderata valley template, and dropped down some of the dorms from the bin built for SSU and LFT. Some worked fine, others did the sandy edge thing. Same for when I was filling it with community lots, and it actually did the sandy terrain for one that I had downloaded from MTS but not any of the ones I'd stolen from other Unis. So I suspect it might have something to do with an issue of the terrain lots are on vs. the terrain they were built for, trying to merge to the new terrain and not quite managing. I don't know, that's really just my best guess because it's when placing lots that the issue shows up for me. But I agree that it's incredibly annoying.
